Even my cat rejects me :) But you can let the fear of rejection go if you embrace your own flaws and wounds and learn how to love yourself... the good, the bad and the ugly. Frankly, there's no harder love in the world than that, but just take one little flaw at a time and accept it. The only rejection that matters is your own. <br /><br />David: 9/11 had a huge impact on my life. It's why I started training in martial arts. I wanted my family to know if I had been sitting on any of those planes, I wouldn't be crying in my seat....I'd be kicking someone's ass on my way out. Yeah, we all live making stupid choices, but paralyzing our lives in fear is the worst of them. <br /><br />Beck: So glad you enjoyed the post. A clean house? Ugh.

F...I remember after 9/11, then the London bombings. Family, friends, relatives pissing me off because they bought into fear. <br /><br />I tried to remind them that there is far more chance they are going to die from their obesity, booze, depression, stress, addiction to pills, etc etc.<br /><br />I dont think a lot of the world realise they walk a tight rope every day of their lives with their bad lifestyles. Lifestyles that are usually based on keeping yourself safe and snug.<br /><br />A lot of people live on the edge every day, but its a dull "existing" living on the edge, not healthy taking risks, exciting edge. Fear can kill you faster than a speeding bullet.<br /><br />I only fear one thing in life. Myself. I am not completely fearless. If I was, I could be in trouble.I have the same human weakness as everybody but I know it, so its a daily battle I like to fight.<br /><br />Great post<br /><br />Daviddavidpbakerhttp://www.deathmovie.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6793148740380160789.post-71330276219262420272010-06-12T13:43:33.541-04:002010-06-12T13:43:33.541-04:00Exactly true.

What if I had not gone to the Writer's Digest Editor's Intensive? Resistance, fear's ally, cropped up in various ways to try to stop me. And it turned out to be the best thing I've ever done for my career. So I agree, face your fear and do it anyway.

You can go over it, under it, or around it. But if you are ever to put fear behind you, you must walk straight through it. Once you put fear behind you, leave it there.”<br /><br />Can't say that I've followed this advice all the time but when I have, it's been life altering.<br /><br />Thanks for reminder to live a life to the fullest!

Letting fear stop you? That's not really living. Some days are better than others, but the key is to step out of your safe space, throw your proverbial hat over the fence, and get out there and live your life!
